EU Inc (the 28th regime) · 2026/0074(COD)
Opposes the 28th Regime as it risks creating legal uncertainty, additional bureaucracy, and regulatory loopholes instead of real simplification and innovation.
Clarify the definition of 'innovative companies' to prevent abuse and artificial competition for special legal treatment.
“The question of which companies should be regarded as innovative in the first place is particularly critical. The term is unclear and opens the door to abuse.”

Avoid creating new registers, control bodies, procedures, and responsibilities that add bureaucracy instead of simplifying processes.
“Instead of cutting red tape, the 28th Regimes even create new bureaucracy. New registers, new control bodies, new procedures and new responsibilities would be needed.”

Ensure that workers’ rights and co-determination are not undermined by the new regime or used as a pretext for reducing social rights.
“It would be particularly dangerous if national standards of protection were undermined by a special European model. Innovation must not be used as a pretext for reducing social rights or control mechanisms.”

Focus on simplifying existing rules, improving digital administrative procedures, and strengthening funding opportunities rather than creating a new special legal form.
“The EU should rather simplify existing rules in a targeted way, improve digital administrative procedures and strengthen funding opportunities for young companies.”

Prevent cherry-picking that could harm tax transparency and national standards of protection.
“Companies would be able to choose the set of rules that delivers the most benefits and imposes the least obligations. This can be to the detriment of workers’ rights, co-determination, creditor protection and tax transparency.”

Open source underneath
WhoShapedIt is a thin layer on open-source packages. Star them, fork them, build your own micro.
Open-source context and state for AI: it keeps only what matters for the question.
In WhoShapedIt: Reads every lobby submission and position paper and each official text, cut into passages, and judges each passage against nine questions (who can use EU Inc, workers on the board, tax…), so every ask and every step is read on the passages that address it.
Open-source Svelte components for clean, accessible interfaces.
In WhoShapedIt: The status, the timeline, the theme picker, the camps of lobbies and the organisation pages.
